Man caves were never an acceptable interior design trend in civilized society, but even among their key demographic (men who own at least one LED beer logo sign), they’ve long overstayed their very limited welcome.
This is just one of many terrible trends that we can trace back to HGTV, though we shouldn’t absolve the reclining leather couch industry of their culpability. But don’t worry, boys, I’m not trying to rob you of your fun entirely. If you need a non-gendered place in your home to relax and unwind, you still have plenty of options, including but not limited to: rec rooms, dens, libraries, studies, offices, living rooms, family rooms, and home theaters.
